Claire | Happy Tears
I can not believe this is my little girl. I was picking out her clothes for school a few nights ago. She didn’t know I was in her closet when I heard her begin her bed-time prayers. She said “Dear God, make me wisdom” Never mind that she meant, “make me wise”. I stood very still, tried not to giggle as I listened to her simply lay her heart before her Heavenly Father. She prayed beyond her years and asked for God to give her wisdom, to help her make good choices. To help her learn to “take a shower good by myself”and to help her obey her mommy. (I resisted a shout of AMEN to that one). A minute later when she concluded, I stepped out of the closet with tears streaming down my face. She reached to my face and touched them. I asked her, “do you know what those are?”. She grinned really big and said “HAPPY tears!”
Some days she drives me crazy (like... today) but one look at these pictures of her makes me want to kiss those freckles right off her face. So I thought I’d share.
“…for we do not know how to pray as we should, but the Spirit Himself intercedes for us…” Romans 8:26
